You want Visual C++ in Linux? Your using the wrong operating system :x Regardless, it may run under WINE, I have never had the urge to try it. In all honesty, EMACS is my favorite editor for coding. Anjuta and KDevelop are also extremely nice and probably the closest to VC++ you'll find. For GUI development you'll want to use QT designer and/or Glade, then do the rest of your developing in one of the aforementioned IDEs. Borland also allows you to download a personal addition of CBuilderX which is a nice C++ IDE as well. There are lots of choices. If you need anything else just let me know.Regards,Steve

Anyway, yeah, look into Qt and Java. C++ is stoneage, man. Java is where it's at.

yeah i`m into java aswell, well atleast i have learned it one step higher than the beginner level. just want to setup vc++ because i am going to face a programming course in this semester and they are teaching vc++ in it.
